Passed...barely...on this again today at same. Only seen 2-3 bottles over the dozen or so stores I visit weekly. Trying to resist....but, I'm beginning to have 2d thoughts/consideration on this one. Especially after reading more favorable reviews here lately.

Several Jefferson's Reserve Very Old have started showing up in VA ABC as single barrel offerings. I've seen barrel B-64 and B-29. I passed on them just because I've never been the biggest Jefferson's fan. Anybody had any experience with their single barrels?

Since its intro, I've not seen much EC21 at all. I'm not convinced it's moving at those kind of prices. The one I saw was alone on the shelf & the store owner said he wasn't going to carry "much stuff like that (EC21) because it just doesn't sell". Hmmmm

In addition to the high price, I am not certain that it fits the profile of the typical bourbon drinker or, even, bourbon enthusiast for that matter. I wonder how it compares to EC18.
